Mangler has reached the point where it's near impossible to find groups at some hours of the day for lower level ranges. For example, today at 11am MST on a Thursday, there's no one within 10 levels of my 27 shaman on LFG. Exploring "/who all 27" and near level ranges, there appears to be no group in that level range in any zone. Everquest is just not fun without a group for most classes. There is too much downtime. If I were a new player, I wouldn't suffer through this.
Terrible idea better to simply remove them entirely but wont happen most probably if your on Mangler and having trouble leveling Find a guild honestly best option so long as you stick with them most guilds have people that can help catch other people up or do some form of trade so you help them they help you
It's never that simple. Let's say, as a ridiculous example, that you enabled mercs in Luclin. The merc vendors are in PoK. There's no PoK until PoP. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Ok, so a flag and adding one vendor to the bazaar. I'm still not seeing the iceberg. It's not new functionality. It's just enabling functionality that already exists.
You give up quickly. You're not wrong that it's more complicated than a flag and a vendor, but it shouldn't be a whole lot of dev time unless their code base is completely jacked.
The biggest problem is that up to level 65, a merc tank can tank better than a bis player tank, while also putting out dps on par with the best dps raid toons. They can singlehandedly handle 4-5 red mobs at once and win. If the lower level mercs aren't rebalanced, they trivialize the game. If they are rebalanced, live will rightly scream.
Ok, that's more of an investment. I thought mercs were supposed to be worse than players. They'd need a Motm-like debuff for mercs on TLP servers.
I like the idea. When the game is mostly instanced and population drops off sharply around level 70 is a good time imo. It's just good for casuals because the group game all but disappears and truebox ensures that soloists are the first to quit.

What would make sense to me is advanced characters able to group with the highest level characters currently on the shard. In Mangler's case, that would be a level 40 since they would be able to group with level 60s. Maybe charge $30. It's not that I think it is a good idea, it is just that I hate the RMT people selling leveling that much that I would sacrifice anything to screw them up. Let DB have the money!
Player name Fudly? I have been leveling alts in that range lately. I will insist on the area to level but can provide transportation. Hope you enjoy Splitpaw for a few levels.
